Chicago Since 1982.

Old World Market is a family-owned specialty grocery market located in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood.

For more than four decades, we’ve served customers searching for foods, ingredients and flavors that aren’t always easy to find in conventional grocery stores.

Over time, the market developed a strong focus on imported West African foods along with selected Caribbean products. But the real story has always been the people who walk through the door.

OUR PURPOSE

Discover the World.
Remember Home.

Those five words describe both sides of Old World Market. For one customer, walking our aisles means discovering an ingredient for the first time. For another, seeing that same ingredient means remembering home. We believe both experiences belong under the same roof.

MORE THAN GROCERIES

Food carries history.

Recipes carry families. Ingredients carry geography. A market can connect all three.

That’s the Old World Market we want to build for the next generation — in Chicago and online.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

The Market Is Going Online.

The neighborhood store isn’t going away. We’re opening the doors wider. Our online market will make more of our products accessible beyond Chicago while our Featured Foods, recipes, stories and Taste of Home community help customers understand the food behind the package.

The store becomes a place to shop. A kitchen. A classroom. A gathering place. And a studio where our community tells its own stories.
